On The Notion Of 'Home'

I sit here looking at the golden sunbeam stretching across the polished timber floor of the house we have to leave in only two weeks, and out the huge picture windows across kilometres of treetops...and wonder at the notion of "home". We are having such a hard time finding somewhere to live. Having a home is, at the moment, the thing foremost in my mind. But we are not succeeding in becoming the proud possessors of a generous lease. Despite working hard. Despite looking clean, polished and responsible. Despite using all our charm on the agent. I just want to be able to look at sunbeams across a timber floor, or out windows onto views which inspire me, and KNOW that I won't have to leave it all behind. I simply want a home.
